NCERT Solutions For Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.2 – Number System
1.State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers.
(i) Every irrational number is a real number.
(ii) Every point on the number line is of the form √m , where m is a natural number.
(iii) Every real number is an irrational number.
Solution 1
(i) True , because real number is the collection of rational and irrational numbers.
(ii) False , for example 1/2 is not of √m form with m as a natural number and also since square root of a natural number is considered to be positive so we can not represent negative numbers in this form.
(iii) False , because every rational number is a real number but not irrational number.
2. Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number.
Solution 2
No, For example consider the integer 9
√9 = 3 which is a rational number
3. Show how √5 can be represented on the number line.
Solution:
Follow the steps below to represent √5 on the number line as show in the figure above:
Step (I) : Consider a right angled triangle OAB on the number line as shown in figure with
OA = 2 units
AB = 1 unit.
Then by using Pythagoras theorem we can easily find
OB = √(2² + 1²) = √5
Step (II) : Using a compass , draw an arc with centre O and radius OB intersecting the number line at C. Then C corresponds to √5 on the number line.
